t Alex Haley's memorabalia to be auctioned to pay debts Memorabilia and property of the late author Alex Haley, including his 1977 Pulitzer Prize for Roots: The Saga of an American Family, will be auctioned next month to pay off his estate's debts. Haley died of a heart attack in February in Seattle at age 70. Haley's search for his family history produced Roots, which traced six generations of his moth er's family from Africa through slavery and led to a 1977 TV minis enes with an audience of 130 mil lion viewers. Haley became an international celebrity. George Haley, the administra tor of his late brothers estate, said the estate faces more than $570,000 claims to date, although he said finances are in fair shape. Haley's $1.25 million farm at Norris is also to be auctioned off. First Tennessee Bank, which owns the mortgage, stopped foreclosure proceedings in late June to give the estate a chance to work out arrange ments to pay off the debt. Also for sale are hand-edited working drafts of Roots, which the estate says are the original drafts. However, the University of Ten nessee's Special Collections Depart ment said the original working drafts are among 75 boxes of papers Haley gave the university. The Pulitzer Prize office at Columbia University in New York said it has no record of a Pulitzer ever being sold. Also for sale are personal notes and tape-recorded messages about Roots, plus edited television scripts, various first edition books and some single-edition books inscribed to Haley, and nine Emmys for the tele vision miniseries. The stained and feathered brown derby worn by actor Ben Vereen when he played "Chicken George" in the miniseries is also for sale, as are Haley's medals from his Coast Guard service. Other personal mementoes include photographs of Haley with Playboy Magazine publisner Hugh Hefner and American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell. The auction on Oct. 1-3 will be conducted by Kimball M. Sterling of Johnson City. Household furni ture, oil paintings of the author and scenes from Roots, will be sold. George Haley said he consid ered putting the items in a museum, but decided an auction was best for the estate. He said he isn't personal ly keeping anything from the farm, but is holding onto the letters his D FAIR HOME 3O0 M Imagrj irtk Cakaly i.Cw4Ni ?* TIlXNKJfl rOWN LOW PRICES!

Strong perfumes that send some people into raptures may send you into the next room. But you're prob ably just irritated, not allergic, to the scent, says an allergy specialist "A dislike of strong odors is a normal human trait Almost every one will display some sort of symp toms or experience a reaction when in an enclosed, polluted, environ ment," says Dr. James Wells of the University of Oklahoma Health Sci ences Center. But he says that an allergic basis for complaints about perfume can't be demonstrated.
